Charly Rangel quiere poner el draft en el tapete.
No ha pasado ni una semana, pero se lo extraña tanto al gran maestro:
When Nixon appointed Friedman to a panel examining whether to abolish the draft, Friedman found that his anti-draft views put him at odds with Gen. William Westmoreland, the Army chief of staff and former Vietnam War commander.
At one point, Westmoreland said he did not want to command an army of "mercenaries."
"I stopped him and said, 'General, would you rather command an army of slaves?' " Friedman later recalled. "He drew himself up and said, 'I don't like to hear our patriotic draftees referred to as slaves.' I replied, 'I don't like to hear our patriotic volunteers referred to as mercenaries.' "
